How do I get over feeling so panicky?
I miscarried naturally on Dec. 18th - our first pregnancy at 7 weeks, 2 days. We were devastated.
I thought I may have ovulated around 1/6-1/7 with smileys on OPKs, which was day 20 after the miscarriage. We tried even though we knew the first cycle after mc is wonky. I thought I had my period from 1/18-1/20 - lots of cramping, but it was lighter than I expected, but still had spotting for 2-3 days. I took a pregnancy test on 1/30 because I had been feeling really off that week - really pms'y, tender breasts, vivid dreams, etc. and the test was positive! We were shocked.
I called my clinic because I'm fearing the worst, and got my hcg checked yesterday - only 70. I'm freaking out and I'm afraid that I'll lose this one too. It seems really low for possibly 6 weeks. I'll get rechecked tomorrow and go from there.
